You see these weird articles full of lies about nutrition pop up from time to time.

Let’s look just at the BS in the article about protein. What the article does not mention, of course, is the bioavailability of protein differs a whole hell of a lot between plant and animal sources.

For instance, to get the RDA of protein from plant sources (beans, peanuts, etc.) you’d need to eat around 4,000 calories per day. Unless you’re a Fat Acceptance loon, that’s not really a good thing. And for most people — and for anyone doing weight training — the protein RDA is actually very much too low. It’s about half of what it should be.

And that’s only one of the many lies in the article. I wonder what inspires these, what’s the reason for these deceitful exercises in clownishness? I’d guess it’s to protect the reputations of the people who’ve made absurd claims over the years but I don’t really know.
